Picnics and Tea Parties

We arrived in Quadville separately this morning. I sent Louis Dean on ahead while I did some housekeeping chores and prepared our medicine boxes for the week. This takes quiet and concentration! I once gave Louis Dean a sleeping pill every morning for two weeks. I was confused because two of his medicines looked the same! He likes to make a grand entrance so he had them all to himself!!

When I drove up I saw Louis Dean sitting on the front porch eating his lunch.

At first I didn't even SEE Amber and the quads out on the lawn!

Four little quadlings all in a row!

And each one is so different from the others!!!

I love how children can be entertained with the simplest of things - like fallen leaves!

This is Trystan's 'Pin Up' Pose!

Kailey and Logan are always moving! They are natural leaders.

I think they all have rhythm!

Four precious faces!

We came in and they all had baths before naps.

Trystan and Logan took good long naps.

Harrison slept a little while - but it was hard to do since Kailey did NOT nap. At all.

Granddad was up there the whole time rocking and singing to her and Harrison.

After and hour and a half all three of them came downstairs......Harrison, Kailey and Granddad.

Precious times with these adorable 4! You're creating such treasured memories for all of you. My prayers are with Amber and the medical team...for their skill and for perfect results and healing for Amber.

My favorite pictures today are the wonderful one of their sweet faces in the fence, each one framed. That one is brilliant and should be framed and put out to see. I also love granddad looking down at that sweet little face.

Oh Grandma you have to print and frame the picture of the babies through the fence!! Maybe we should add prayers for grandma and grandpa too that they not run out of steam till Amber is back in swing:)

saying a prayer now for Amber's knee surgery. and for the sitters of the quadlings during the surgery. i love the photo that says quadlings and the one of them in the fence... wish you could ship me some of their energy

We are praying here! (I thought I'd left a comment and then realized that John and I read this together this morning and I got distracted. We sure did chuckle over the mix-up with the sleeping pills, but I don't believe that it was too funny for poor LD at the time. He must have been wondering what was going on with him. I like that he still trusts you! ☺)

These darlings are growing so fast and learning so much. One day soon, you'll be turning over that tea pot to them! I know...scary! It's good for children to learn how to pour once they get to be three and four. Take it easy now and pace yourselves!

Linda, I am praying for Amber. I wish I could give her a big hug. She's just a young mother doing every thing she can to be healthy for her family. I loved the little film clips of the children. It lets us hear them and I really like that. My gosh they are growing. Blessings for all of you. xoxo,Susie

I am passionate about being a Homemaker! My husband and I share the love of all things warm and cozy and enjoy the simple pleasures a home affords...the beauty of gardening and the joy of bird watching....sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine and a good book....planting flowers and vegetables and thrilling to the sight of real produce! I like redeeming things....turning old blue jeans into denim quilts...taking cast offs and making them useful in new and interesting ways. I love being able to show hospitality to others by sharing my home for a lunch, a visit, a meal, a movie! Hopefully I am a life long LEARNER and continue to grow as a person even into the fall and winter seasons of my life!
